The original words are: "God wants to destroy people, he first makes them crazy." -euripides
Later tragic writers were all influenced by Herodotus and fully explained it. Oedipus, an ancient Greek tragic writer, famously said, "If God wants to destroy it, he must first make it crazy."
Later, Shakespeare also said in his work Macbeth: "If God wants to die, he must be promoted as a madman."
